Château Bourdieu 2023

Château Bourdieu is a traditional Bordeaux estate located on the Right Bank, where clay and limestone soils favour Merlot-dominant blends. The winery focuses on producing wines that reflect regional character while remaining accessible and consistent in style.

The 2023 vintage in Bordeaux benefited from generally warm conditions, supporting good ripeness and fruit expression while maintaining balance. The wine is typically a blend of Merlot with smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and/or Cabernet Franc, depending on the final composition.

Fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled tanks, followed by ageing in oak—often a mix of barrels and larger vessels—to soften tannins and add subtle spice and texture. The style leans toward fruit-forward with a smooth, approachable structure.
